It is good to see someone taking up the misnomer, calling the white stuff manufactured from soybeans "milk".  "Juice"? hmmm.  I'm not sure that it even is juice.  Juice can be squeezed out of something of vegetable origin.  I think a lot more processing happens before a white liquid is concocted from soybeans - via powdered soy protein?.  (If anyone knows this process, please correct me if I'm wrong.)  The white drink sold as rice "milk" probably isn't exactly a juice, either.  Anyone know more?
